Deep learning within the context of point clouds has gained much research interest in recent years mostly due to the promising results that have been achieved on a number of challenging benchmarks, such as 3D shape recognition and scene semantic segmentation. In many realistic settings however, snapshots of the environ…
We consider the problem of learning object arrangements in a 3D scene. The key idea here is to learn how objects relate to human poses based on their affordances, ease of use and reachability. In contrast to modeling object-object relationships, modeling human-object relationships scales linearly in the number of objec…
We consider learning based methods for visual localization that do not require the construction of explicit maps in the form of point clouds or voxels. The goal is to learn an implicit representation of the environment at a higher, more abstract level. We propose to use a generative approach based on Generative Query N…
Recently, multiple formulations of vision problems as probabilistic inversions of generative models based on computer graphics have been proposed.

Generative latent-variable models are emerging as promising tools in robotics and reinforcement learning. Yet, even though tasks in these domains typically involve distinct objects, most state-of-the-art generative models do not explicitly capture the compositional nature of visual scenes. Two recent exceptions, MONet …

SPACE models complex scenes by decomposing objects and backgrounds.
The ability to decompose scenes in terms of abstract building blocks is crucial for general intelligence.

Energy-based models can generate complex images by combining simpler concepts.
Stochastic video prediction models take in a sequence of image frames, and generate a sequence of consecutive future image frames. These models typically generate future frames in an autoregressive fashion, which is slow and requires the input and output frames to be consecutive. We introduce a model that overcomes the…
Understanding the 3-dimensional structure of the world is a core challenge in computer vision and robotics.

Image classification with deep neural networks is typically restricted to images of small dimensionality such as 224 x 244 in Resnet models [24].
